Juz got back from the Henderson Secondary School (HSS) St. John Ambulance Brigade (SJAB ) camp yesterday. dead tired.

9/3
Day 1
Arrived at Apollo center at 9am. Went to carry the staffs needed down to the van before bringing it down to HSS before going to bukit batok area to collect cardboard boxes, buy guppies n have our lunch. Reached HSS at around 1. Seperated the tents and everything else into eight groups for the campers. This is one of the "best" part of the camp, coz almost all of them do not know how to pitch the tents. in the end, the could not finishing pitching all their tents within the allocated time and as they have to move on to the other activities, we, the instructors have to pitch all their tents for them when they are eating their dinner. The school brought packed rice for us instructors but after eating, we still do not feel full and we went out to buy MacDonald for all of us. Mich went around and took the fries from everybody. Had to wake up to help out at the fire drill. zzzz. i nid my sleep. lol

Day 2
woke up at 6 plus and went for a quick shower to make myself more alert. Went to the coffee shop opposite the school to have breakfast. After breakfast, mich, hafidz n me help kwan yong with his games. About 10 am, we moved out to Central Fire Station. When the campers are there, me n mich went with our lady boss to the IT Fair at suntec to get a modem/router, a 400gb external hdd n a nre toshiba laptop before gg to vivocity to buy tickets for the campers to go into sentosa.


Had a great time at sentosa. But it would have been greater if the campers are not as hungry as they had bread for both their breakfast n lunch. while my group members sit on the tram from the beach station to underwater world, i ran beside the tram. Same goes for the return journey to beach station. Took public bus back to HSS. Upon reaching, we have to have to pitch some of the tents again as some of the sticks supporting the tents broke. Went to have a buffet dinner with all the campers later. finally food! had shouted myself hoarse at sentosa. ahhh.... my voice. lol. after dinner, we, the instructors went to our bunk n slack while the campers went to their campfire. some of us play cards while i was watching Bleach. Slept around 2 am in the morning.

Day 3
woke up at 615am, have to help the campers unpitch their tents. Argh. pitching, we have to help them n now we have to help them unpitch. wadever, working n an empty stomach, we unpitched all the tents and clear up the area b4 gg for our breakfast which is bread. went for the prize presentation and all the insturctors have to present a prize to at least 2 campers. took very long. after tt, we load all our stuffs into the van and we move back to apollo center n unload all the stuff b4 gg for lunch. stayed at apollo center and help out until 9 plus n we had pizza hut for dinner. Cost $91. went out to take a cab with mich n hafidz. Took us very long to flag a taxi. Finally got a taxi around 1015. Drop mich off at her house first b4 hafidz n me went back to bukit panjang. reached home at about 11pm. eat fried rice, bath n went to sleep. Finally, my bed.
went back to school today for FOE briefing. nothing much, stayed to watch underworld 2. boring show. cheated of $1.30 by the vending machine. after the movie, mich n me went to IMM n shop for the chalet items with jian zhou n some ppl from 01. after tt, i send mich home b4 gg home.

argh, now my nose is hurting mi. after the camo, i dun think i can be a gl during the FO anymore, i'm tired, coughing n totally no energy to do any thing. wonder if they would put some1 else in my place n let me be a gp. coz the prep camp is 3 days wif mi playing the games n everything, n a 2 day break b4 th actual camp. dun think i can handle it physically. Dun really feel tt well at the moment now. got to talk to barnet about whether i can be a gp instead of a gl or not.
